They say the only thing that is constant is change. Sure, all things change. Sometimes that catches you off guard. Not only did one of my favorite haunts in La Jolla disappoint. But it let me down mightily. I had my wife and parents in tow this time, and the soup and appetizers we received were hastily reheated (bits of... more

I had a late reservation that was honored. However, the service was very uneven ... rushed, then slow. Portions were miniscule, indirectly coorelated to prices. The quality of the hamachi and maguro sashimi was not great. The fish smelled of fish; not fresh. The ambience is very nice, if somewhat over done. The servers try but apparently have a slow... more

This restaurant looks impressive, and of course you expect alot because of it's location in La Jolla. The staff was very pretentious, so I expected the food to be somewhat amazing; I was sadly disappointed. The $20 rolls are something I could get at any run of the mill, strip mall sushi place for less than half of the price.... more

It's not a cheap restaurant and they did try to hide us away next to the kitchen but that was ok because the food was so good. My kids (ages 3 & 5) have certain allergies and the staff were very accommodating to the fact. They did screw up one order but offered to change it. We left with an... more

Excellent!

Perfect portions. Great, healthy options with a flare. I'm a picky eatter and I would be surprised if everyone couldn't find something to eat here. The... more

Our experience was fantastic. There were 3 of us and we ordered 4 different "small plates" and shared those for our dinner. Excellent advice from the waitress. The crab stack was the best thing ever. Not a cheap meal, but well worth it. Nice atmosphere. more

My friend and I went to Roppongi on Wednesday for a late lunch. Turns out that from 4-6pm they only serve items from their tapas menu and sushi list. We decided to stay because the tapas were half-price during this time. Otherwise, Roppongi can be a pretty pricey place, and I'd hate to pay full price for uneven menu selections.... more

High expectations with disappointment. We went for a romantic evening, the waiter had a fake smile with attitude. Very poor sushi chefs, the servings were very cheep and skimpy. If you are looking for a sushi dinner, this is not your place. I recommend other sushi restaurants in the area. The pieces were extremely small. I ordered some uni and... more
